Causes of Alexa Saying the Echo Is Offline – There are several reasons why an Echo device may appear offline, unable to respond to Alexa. The Alexa app on your smartphone or Echo device might be outdated, or the Echo might not be connected to power. The Wi-Fi may be spotty or malfunctioning, or the Echo might be situated too far from the router.
How do I get my Alexa back online?
Restart Your Device – The “turn it off and on again” repair philosophy, while being overly simplistic and devoid of nuance, is still sometimes all you need to fix a problem. Try this with your Alexa devices. All you need to do is turn the power source off, wait for a couple of minutes, and turn it back on.
Why is my Alexa having trouble connecting to the Internet?
Check the connection with another device to determine if it’s an issue with your Echo device or with your network. If other devices can’t connect, restart your Internet router and/or modem. While your network hardware restarts, unplug the power adapter from your Echo device for 3 seconds, then plug it back in.
Why has my Alexa stopped working?
Why won’t my Alexa talk back? – If your Alexa device is not responding, this might be due to a poor internet connection. Check the cable connection of all your smart home devices. Other reasons include physical interference, wrong Wi-Fi password, or too much distance between the Echo device and the router.
How do I reset my Alexa not responding?
Restart Your Alexa-Enabled Device – There are times when a minor glitch with your Alexa-enabled device causes issues. It’s possible your Alexa is not responding because there’s an issue with your device. Luckily, you can fix most minor glitches by rebooting the device. If you use an Alexa device that plugs into a power socket, unplug the device from the socket and let it be that way for about half a minute. Then, plug the device back into the power socket and the device will turn on. If you have a battery-enabled Alexa device, remove the batteries from your device to turn the device off.
Why is my Alexa on but not responding?
Alexa Doesn’t Understand or Respond to Your Request Alexa doesn’t respond or says she can’t understand you. To fix issues with your Echo device not responding:
Make sure you’re using the power adapter that was included with your device. Make sure you have an active internet connection. Check that your device isn’t muted. The light indicator is red when your device is muted. For devices without a screen: press the Action button to see if your Echo device responds. To make sure that Alexa hears you, move your device away from walls, other speakers, or background noise. Speak naturally and clearly. Rephrase your question or make it more specific. For example, there are many cities around the world called “Paris.” If you want to know the weather in Paris, France, say, “What’s the weather like in Paris, France?” Try saying, “Did you hear me?” Unplug your device and then plug it back in.

1. Restart Your Echo Speaker and Wi-Fi Router – This initial step rules out the possibility of a problem with your Wi-Fi router.

You can also restart your Echo speaker to check if it connects to the Wi-Fi network and comes back online.
